He forgot to mention named arguments in PHP 8.0. I really love that feature.

Wow! I am using PHP every day, and I wasn't aware of all of this. Great video!

Having generally been part of the evolution (with my code base) I am still not fully up to date with all PHP 8.1 features. But what I like with PHP is that I was able to always upgrade my project with approx. 800 classes quite fast to a quite modern PHP version (with making a good use of the new features). Therefore I am glad that I had chosen PHP 15 years ago for web-development. PHP never let me down.

I love how I worked with PHP on 2001, the just got back 2 years ago, and its a totally different ecosystem, great to see great tools evolve!

I really enjoy your informative and easy-to-understand videos. Keep going, Brent!

Very good video and interesting format, keep it up :D

That was actually really fun to watch. Excellent example of showing how the language has evolved.

After 12 years of PHP i left for python and js. Do not really regret it. PHP is fine, has matured. For big programs it still may be the best choice. It deserves more attention. I still know most of the structures, most of the keywords. This video helped me to keep up. I wish more of these videos, for people who are experienced programmers, but not exactly on this topic. Videos, that explain by example, how to improve code from common knowledge to high level.

Crisp and concise! 👌

I enjoy coding in PHP. It is a truly dynamic language. I too started using it at its early stage. I rarely use classes with PHP, which I plan to start doing. However, sometimes, I work with JSON with PHP. I think it is a nice language. Enjoyed this video!

After a long hiatus my professional life brought me back to PHP. I like that they've added type hinting. I do feel that DTOs are a roundabout way to make immutable structs but it's very nice that they've made them more concise. Can't wait till generics are released, that would bring PHP to the standards of strong typed languages I think.

Most tutorials and community resources for PHP on the internet that makes PHP look so degraded. We need to see PHP in a fresh look for sure

Nice summary

I left web development a while ago, so I need a video 'evolution from PHP 4 to PHP 5.6' to catch up first...

I've been programming in PHP since about 2002, and it's still unbelievable to me to this day the advances that have happened over the last 2 decades. PHP is by far and above the best of the best... it's why it's stood the test of time. It's why I'll always choose it over React or other JS frameworks to do data transactions of any type.

Short & clear as your videos how the PHP evolution nowadays!

I’m getting back in to dev after over five years break. (Previous customer’s needed major updates!) and php 8 blew my mind

I have a strange experience with php. it’s my first programming language. I’ve been making my best hobbie projects and freelance experience for my first 5 year in web dev. But after I switched to nodeJS+Vue and was going progress in this direction for a 3 year. And then I’ve got my first official work like backend developer on PHP (How is possible?). But finally I still switched back to nodeJS+Vue and got job like fullstack dev.

Nice

Thanks, and you are welcome)

cool. could have introduced some structs or smtn. I've left php at 7.1 and haven't looked back

Thanks

I always liked PHP native to learn and build everything from scratch, which gives better experience and knowledge .. I finally learned PHP laravel now, and life became a loooooooooot easier ... Hails PHP

TBH, the feature I wish for most is Dynamic getters/setters on property level, wether it's PHP attributes or annotations, that would be dope.

PHP has __get() and __set() magic methods for that but I understand that you want to define this for each property separately.

You'd need either composition or inheritance on all your classes to enforce consistency. At that price, using the IDE ability to generate getters and setters is less pain.

Think of it as Lombok to Java. #[getter] #[setter] private string $property; instead of public function getProperty(): string {....} public function setProperty(string $value): string {....} In most cases, these are dump functions.

What do you mean from 5.6 to 8.2? I've been missing PHP since version 4. 🤨

Shows how any language can evolve to become much better than what it once was, and up to par with pretty much everything else. So, no need to switch stacks all the time, unless you really want to try something different. Or else stay on your stack, become an expert, and you can make the same or more as with anything else, pretty much. Being language agnostic, at least in the sense of what language is better, is much more valuable and productive to you as a developer, because you'll be learning even from languages you don't use on a regular basis or at all.

Aw, I remember PHP. Used to code with it, blimey, was it ten years back? Maybe more. Before it was asp classic which was antiquated even then. Using python now obviously but good to hear it's still going. I liked the dollar signs.

When I first encountered PHP, it looked like they were trying to copy Perl without actually understanding how it worked. Which is where the “$” came from: in Perl, you have “$”, “@” and “%” prefixes for scalar, array and hash variables respectively. PHP tried to do it all with “$”, with some unfortunate consequences. (If you aren’t distinguishing cases, why have the prefix at all?) Nowadays, they have switched to trying to copy Python, again without actually understanding how it works. For example, look at how they stuffed up iterators.

Why would you say that's Object oriented? I would specifically Argue it's not. No polymorphism nor methods. This is now basically a struct, no?

No background info for people that are new to this? Not very helpful.
